Dining
We love dining outdoors. Patios are blissful and rooftops give us life. If we can’t eat outside, we at least want to be able to see it. Luckily, some of the best views of the city can be found at our downtown restaurants. Dining is more than just Esker Grove in Minneapolis. It’s an experience. Do you want to see the twinkle of holiday lights? We’ll give it to you. Cocktails on a Ferris wheel? Absolutely. A glass-enclosed rooftop deck? Of course. Here are some of the restaurants with the best views in Minneapolis.
